It seems that whoever designed the kitchen in my new apartment does not have a college degree.

I won’t be roasting a turkey anytime soon…

Ooooops!
OMG…. bummer.
I hope that aside from this ‘snag’, you’re almost settled in.
But at least, it’s not an electric stove.
why whats wrong?
Cant you move the shelves?
Oh oh oh I see! I would call the landlord
Yikes!
I’m so sorry that this made me laugh! But it reminded me of the first kitchen we ever built. We left the cabinet installers alone for the day and went off to work, and when we came home, they had installed one cabinet incorrectly and the handle blocked the oven door from opening at all. Now really, you’d think they would have tried it just once…..
hmmm. looks like an ill-conceived nyc kitchen. but it’s not if your shower isn’t in there too, i guess.
Oh no! Thats horrible!
maybe they do have a degree but its in psychology or something… this is classic NY!
Lol, classic!
haha oh my! That’s not good!
Oh no! That is terrible!! How is the rest of your place?
Don’t you just love apartment living? It seems like every other apartment I move into has a small oven (the first would not fit a full size cookie sheet and the next one would barely fit it.) Good luck with that!
Sounds like the perfect reason to get a small countertop rotisserie. Seriously.
And, ahem, shouldn’t the kitchen have been the area you paid *a lot* of attention to when looking?
oh no! i hope that’s the only negative in your new living situation.
We are looking for a new place, this reminds me to check the oven, we never think about that when looking! Funny micro post!
lol, too funny. We have one kitchen drawer like that. Can’t open it up all the way, darn window is in the way.
WTF?!?
Oh no! You can’t move the fridge? You should so get a discount on your rent!
That is too funny, well sort of! I hope you are enjoying your new place, minus the small space:)
Oh no! That’s ridiculous! And looks vaguely like my current apartment…
lol it took me a second but I started laughing when I did see it. However, that really does freaking suck! I would be busting out a saw and cutting out a section of the wall so the door can go down.
Oh man..that’s the craziest thing. Do you have any other well designed surprises?
This is too much! How could this happen? I understand that some people don’t cook, but really, being able to open the oven door all the way is a pretty basic thing. I’m sure you will figure something out. Hope you are happy in your new place in spite of this one ‘little’ issue.
